Got £85 million to spare? This former ambassadorial home in central London is currently on the market for £75 million. The only hitch is it still needs £10 million-worth of work done.

Ha ha, this is amusing. I worked on this project as a 3D artist last year. How random for it to pop up when logging out of my emails! I was responsible for the dining room image, although someone has made a few changes to the finished render I produced. They have made it look worse for sure. Shame. Ridiculous house though.

The interior graphics are so good: half of the people that commented, think they are real!!!

So many people think that if they had millions they would give it all to charity. I wonder what makes them so sure that the people that have enough to buy this house don't give anything.

I know a few millionaires, they give many thousands to good causes... A heck of a lot more than buying £2 lottery tickets that so many of you think is being generous!

someone,who prefers to remain nameless thinks mike nimrod is a racist,  i'm not racist but i'm sorry to say he's right, at 57 years old, paid tax my whole life, never unemployed,just separated and she got the house, so i'm on the scrapheap i went to the local authority and got put on a 16 year waiting list, when i asked why immigrants get housed i was told its their human right, apparently i don't have any.

What would you do with a big £75 million house like this. i bet half the rooms wouldn't  even get used.  Maybe the buyer will have a spare half a million so my child could have a good education, buy and own our house with garden and a car, i would also get myself a better education and Job.  Well here's living in hope.  Maybe i'll do the lottery this week.  MAYBE

So this would be the house that has taken 6 or so years to sell, owned by an irish bank or something along those lines and actually had about 35 million knocked off the asking price of 75 million so why would you need a spare 85 million?  Come on msn, simple maths dictates that at most you need 45 million.  Maybe you should do a bit more research before writing another poorly written article.

In the 1950s, the home became an ambassadorial residence, and remained in diplomatic use until 2001.

 

Diplomatically immune from paying for repairs by the sound of it.

If i had 75 million to spend mmmm let me think. well i certainly would not be buying that overpriced carbuncle. i would however buy up old mansions and large country houses and turn them into affordable apartments for first time buyers. i own a luxury home and paid through the nose for it, i can barely keep up the mortgage payments even though im self employed and work 60 hours per week, so i definately see the need for cheap but nice affordable first time buyers homes, anyone with me. lets all put our cash together and make this happen.
